The Shadow Queen: "Wha... How is it you are able to hurt me?" Gonzales Jr. with a suspiciously Mega Rush P-shaped cheek bulge:

shout out to the two life mushrooms that saved my ass

Most games would play triumphant music during a fight like this, now that you have the power to defeat the Shadow Queen, but the music instead gets MORE intense and I love it.

Shadow queen: fear me, mortals Me with lucky day, several close call, thirteen power rush, jump man, all or nothing, and two power plus with power bounce:

Good lord that final part before the loop at 2:20 is just transcendent. They went incredibly hard on this track for the remake, I’m glad they managed to do it justice.

I like how they took the best part of Origami King, its killer music, and blended it into this game. They did an outstanding job.

The first time I fought the shadow queen in the original TTYD, I got absolutely mollywhopped. In the end, I ran out of healing items, Star points, and most of my partners aside from flurrie were dead, I prayed that my turn was actually coming up after a bingo, and I won the fight by the skin of my teeth with 4 hp remaining. This time, it was the complete opposite.

THEY COOKED WITH THE REMIXES 🗣️🗣️🗣️‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥

I know i shoudn't be listening to this but Gah damnnnnnnn., they're shredding that guitar wheww. also i love the addition of the wailing in the background really makes the song extra eerie And that extra bit is fantastic, major props to composers for this kick-ass rendition!

This fight is anxiety inducing with just 5 HP.

0:01 Autobots, transform and roll out!

"You were talking?" - Carbon Christ

I kid you not, I literally beat the Shadow Queen with only 2 HP left. TWO. I didn’t even have any Life Mushrooms to save me. So if I died, I would have to restart the whole fight. Literally the most insane moment in my playthrough.

I ended up dying to the true form of the shadow queen after an hour of gameplay on my first attempt. She had four health left and my only option was to attack her with a confused Koops. He attacked Mario. I could have won by the skin of my teeth, but I died because of a roll of the dice.

The original was more chaotic. The new track sounds like it’s reminding you that you’re up against a god. It’s an interesting change.

I feel like the "wailing" part at 0:31 was stronger in the original and I just KNEW it wouldn't survive the remixing process - just felt like one of those particular sampling things that wouldn't. The original sounded much less defined, much more like an unknowable, eiree, festering evil presence echoing through the long-dormant halls and time itself. Hard to put my finger on it without using such flowery language but... yeah. What they did instead matches up to the usage of vocals in the rest of the soundtrack, but was a downgrade for me as the original sound of that moment was one of my favourite parts of the song. That said... incredible remix in spite of that nitpick. I'd say this is easily on par with the original, and considering how perfect the original was it would've been a tough act to upgrade it without losing something. With that in mind, I'll happily take a new version that's just as good.

I went and listened to the original Shadow Queen theme after listening to this one. Honestly I think this version of the theme is much better than the original.

Never would I imagine that I would be facing the Shadow Queen once again as an adult, but here we are. Even to this day, she is one of my favorite final bosses in any RPG with Dark Bowser and Wasp King close by. This was a major highlight of my childhood. The Shadow Queen gave me utter hell when I was a kid as I'm sure she did for many a young gamer back in the day. It felt so satisfying to finally strike her down like I truly did conquer an ancient demon and it felt amazing to relive it all again. Major props to the team for bringing this remake of a timeless classic to both older and newer generations. May your experiences with this game be filled with wonder like many have beforehand, myself included.

shout out to the boo in the audience 💯

I actually here a little bit of count blecks music from super paper Mario

This is incredible! And people who are saying that the og version is better are just suffering from a duckling syndrome. Original theme went for creepy, this version goes for an epic final battle, WHILE fixing flaws of the original.(Like a very short loop and track sounding repetitive) Both go for a completely different feeling and excel at it! So ffs, enjoy og, new or both but let others enjoy what they like without being a party pooper.

Very charismatic

Casually playing Bleck's theme in the middle of this is such a flex, bravo

Awwwwww shit, heavy metal is back in Mario

This theme hits so much harder when you forget to equip feeling fine and feeling fine p 😂😂😂..... thank god Vivian still attackdd the queen when she was confused and not mario.....

I have done two runs of this game, one of them was a regular 100% and another a bp only challenge. In the first one I died because I got greedy while in another I had to be on my superguard game or I would’ve lost the battle. Luckily I got the superguard timing down mid fight. I also forgot peekaboo so I was just hoping little Kuma (Yoshi) would kill her. That fight was so intense and that’s why I want to do hero mode for ttyd. Ttyd means so much to me so ye 😅

Original version was a rave, this one's a mosh pit.

Ok this is addictive.

They fumbled 0:58 so much but literally every other part of the song goes so hard it doesn't even matter bro oh my god

Doing this with Double Pain, P-Up D-Down, and without using Danger Mario is a rush.

Thank you quick change buff stalling (fyi that's when you use quick change to switch a partner into battle, buff them, then switch out again then you have them switch in, attack, and leave. it might count as cheating so oopsies)

shoutout to the star sprite bingo that saved me when i was at 12 hp and severely low fp and sp

0:44 I like how they turned the least interesting part of the original and turned it into ABSOLUTE HEAT 🗣️🔥

They did not need to go hard on the guitar but its much appreciated.

Could you upload the remake version of "Sadness and Happiness"?

This soundtrack slaps like the Shadow Queen herself.

As my as I would of beat this game in a week, I wanted to enjoy it like a glass of wine 🍷 before it’s sadly over for one of my favorite Paper Mario games of all time and this is far more then a expected for a badass final boss theme. I totally see this more like a Shadow King fit if the game had one more Shadow tyrant expectedly final FINAL boss like thing!

There's something about this that makes me want to Dance in a particularly Mad fashion.

if you have many power rush and 5hp. you can do anything!

Did you upload the music for the Shadow Sirens battle theme or did i juat gloss over it?

well if Dimentio is the kefka of mario, the shadow queennstands on her own

Was it just me, or did they make the Bingos a LOT easier to get during this battle? (I managed to get two in a row)

How do I beat the evil princess peach at the end of the game?

Hmm the music sounds good but I don't know it's better than the- 2:05 Nevermind that part starts with the opera vocal with the drums , guitar and violin mix together right there make this better than the original.

I’d been uneasy about the late game tracks since I wasn’t a fan of a couple of the chapter boss tracks in comparison to their OGs, but FUCK did Chapters 6-8 blow my worries out of the water

Also, I don’t see anyone else bringing this up, but anyone else find it strange that they slightly nerfed the Shadow Queen’s health? She had 200 HP in the GC version, but on Switch she has 150. Not that it makes it any less harder to beat her, but still weird that they did that.

Word on the street is that this and all the other battle themes with the Shadow Queen suck???? …No…I’m sorry but I have to heavily disagree with this. Maybe this is my guitar bias coming back again, but this is a phenomenal remix. And even though there’s a bigger emphasis on guitars and violins like most of the other tracks in the remake, I think it still sells the eerie vibe of the Shadow Queen, how you’re fighting this eldritch demon that’s hell bent on ending the world *and you* too. Although one thing I can say is that, I feel like there should’ve been an organ playing here too. The guitar mixing in with the violin and the haunting vocals are friggin great, but I feel like some parts could’ve been played with an organ there, since it felt like the OG them had a major emphasis on it. I think that’s what slightly holds this track back for me and makes me liking phase 1 of the theme a bit more. But both tracks are KILLER don’t get the wrong idea here.

i only won this because of a mushroom bingo

0:59 Sad that they changed the part from the og ost 😢

I still can't decide if I like this theme or the original more but it's definitely not worse the original like the xnaut fortress theme.

this version >>> the original

Best part starts at 0:31

Huge glow up for the OST as a whole. Went from the worst paper Mario OST to one of the best

I never played the original, but I've heard the soundtrack and this SUCKS compared to the original.
